I don't have a clue either, about the fork.

So Frank, ya gonna give some clues, or just wait for awhile, to see if anyone pops on here, that knows what it is? Just curious.

Hell with the fork I want to gas globe in my man-cave !!

Very good on the Suzuki legs, got them from M Reick..

That globe is on of about 50 made for the now defunct race team...the lenses were a birthday present.. Funny thing a tig welder guy I know, used to walk past the 29?Ford pickup, sitting in the weeds in a backyard in Calgary...before it became a Bonneville racer.

The little truck ran 210 mph in 2007 driven by then 72 year old Don Siewert .

I stick around here, for the quizzes and I might be able to pick up some education (because I had no idea on either set of forks and never thought to look closer at the 2nd set.

I won't ruin it frank but they are some very nice trees in the first 2 pics. Much rarer than the Ceriani stuff too.

ekpent · « **Reply #18 on:** December 09, 2016, 10:44:18 AM »

BSA or Bultaco ? Whoops that's 2 guesses.

754 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 09, 2016, 11:53:45 AM »

Nooooooo.... They are 41 mm leg assemblies...

BPellerine · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2016, 01:50:29 PM »

rickman?

754 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 09, 2016, 02:19:31 PM »

Correct Biil..I was so smitten by the 41 mm ..actually 1 5/8 rickman fork I saw in the early 70,s on a Norton Rickman..that I always wanted one.. But they are scarce..

So I wanted to try to make the trees... Got a nice fellow on here to send mrle detailed pics.. Settled for SV 41 mm leg assemblies as Rickmans never come up for sale.
BTW 41 is smaller than 1 5/8 a bit , so I am forced to use shims, or to use 1 5/8 legs.
Then one day a set of trees show up on ebay, and I luckily was able to get them..even had the correct stem, looks like....
So now I have to decide which fork to run..also have a 43 mm Kawi fork.. I can use.

both sets of forks look great,but the suz set would be nice and make some take a second look!bill
